Christopher Luo

Small Business Owner in San Francisco, California

I live, work, worship, and run in San Francisco. My vocational interest is the intersection of micro PE and micro SaaS. On the micro PE side, my wife and I own 3 businesses: San Francisco GYROTONIC, a boutique fitness business that has a 30-year history teaching the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods, Swyft Fitness, a service that provides group fitness classes as an amenity to residential properties and companies, and Psoas Massage & Bodywork, a 20-year-old business bringing healing to people in pain and athletes seeking performance. BizGenius.AI is how I'm exploring micro SaaS, starting with applications built for the businesses we own. Previously, I spent over 10 years as the CMO of Fivestars, a venture-backed startup that went from Y-Combinator to acquisition by SumUp. Before Fivestars, I was the Global Head of Small Business Marketing at Facebook and the Head of Acquisition Marketing for Google in Asia-Pacific. I'm a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard and received my MBA from The Wharton School, where I was a Palmer Scholar. In my spare time, I run marathons, explore the city with my wife, Lynn, and coach/manage my son's soccer and baseball teams.
